By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

As a Federal Materials Supervisor, you will create a strategic plan to optimize warehouse operations in strict compliance with federal regulations, create a standard set of metrics to monitor team performance, set goals for improving performance, and identify areas to reduce cost while maintaining quality and audit readiness. The right person for this role has extensive defense supply chain knowledge, has developed SOPs and implemented them under FAR/DFARS guidelines, has implemented or improved ERP/WMS with government property tracking integrations, and has a proven track record of managing expensive, federally owned inventory. If you are someone who can operate autonomously to keep a warehouse team motivated, excel under rigorous audit standards, and enjoys process improvement, this may be the role for you.

  • Develop processes that increase the efficiency (speed & elimination of waste) and effectiveness of Anduril materials management. 
  • Implement necessary systems that match Anduril Federal policies on management of government property & inventory management. 
• Implement End-to-End material management measures, including FIFO adherence, material variances, cycle time optimization, scrap/obsolescence/disposal management (via PCARSS/eTools), cycle/physical counting, and DCMA/internal audits, to ensure 100% inventory accuracy and mitigate stockouts or overstocking. This includes the development & improvement of critical compliance metrics.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including procurement, Government Property Administrators, production, manufacturing engineering, logistics, and quality, to aid in accurate demand forecasting, procurement planning, and timely delivery of materials.

• Collaborate with production planning and manufacturing teams to align material availability with production schedules, minimize disruptions, and meet federal contract and customer demand on time.

• Analyze material usage trends, identify opportunities for process improvements, and implement lean practices to optimize material handling, storage, and secure distribution.

• Utilize ERP, WMS, and federal registry software systems (such as PIEE/WAWF) to track inventory, generate reports, and provide data-driven insights to support decision-making and optimize material-related processes.

• Ensure strict compliance with regulatory requirements (including ITAR/EAR), safety standards (OSHA), and quality control protocols (AS9100) in all material management and shipping/receiving activities.

• Lead and develop a high-performing warehouse team, providing guidance, training, and performance feedback to foster a culture of compliant operational excellence and continuous improvement.

 

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain management, logistics, business administration, or equivalent work experience

• Experience supporting warehouse equipment maintenance and safety compliance

• Knowledge of 5S, lean manufacturing, or 6-Sigma principles

• Proficient with computer use (standard browser, ERPs like Deltek Costpoint or SAP, and PIEE/WAWF portals) and the ability to present data
